Members Mr. Sarum Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 {censored} Simon cowell! Though I would rather show my support against his music by not buying it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Snufkino Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 Either way, Simon Cowell will rule this country and turn into into some kind of talent-grooming show orientated version of an Orwellian 1984 state sooner or later.

Members woolyh Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 Rage was higher in the charts last time i checked and they've been playing it non stop on the Radio hopefully it beats it, the X Factor is gash and it's pretty much set up so the winner gets to number 1 in the christmas charts for a single written months ago and an album of crap karaoke covers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Army of Darkness Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 It would be {censored}ing great if Rage beat that crap X-Factor nonsense. X-Factor is complete bull{censored} Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Zietto Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 Let me have a rant!There is nothing GENUINE in the XFactor or in pop music in general since the '80s with their brainwashing videoclips and ads. There is nothing GENUINE in people like Simon Cowell who is PROMOTING IGNORANCE to get quick easy money. It's too easy exploiting sheeple and teenagers, of course they are going to buy whatever they see on telly. If ART was a priority you would see real musicians, real composers on telly. But the real priority for major record companies is money, not art. There is nothing spiteful in this rage against greedy managers. See what happened to Leon Jackson, he has been sacked by Cowell because the poor guy wasn't selling enough. Cowell wants to see stupid puppets around him, if you are a clever or original person he is going to attack you immediately. Why in the '70s we had Kate Bush, Queen, Kansas, Jethro Tull, Yes, Keith Jarret, Hendrix? Because industry wasn't contaminated yet by videoclips and greedy producers. Having a good voice it's not enough to make art, see Leona Lewis, if you give her a good song she sings a good song, if you give her crap she sings crap. If this year Rage wins it would be a success. For the next year against Pop Idol or Xfactor I suggest "Kansas": Cheyenne Anthem Wake up folks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not about the money, it's about our taste in music being represented by the charts, and how we are showing that we don't want this manufactured rubbish that is spewed by Simon Cowell.

Members Ponda Boba Posted December 20, 2009 Author Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 the money from the sole single sales is going to the Youth Music foundation and the campaign itself started on facebook is raising money towards homeless shelters in the UK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ArrMatey Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 I bought the single online and loads of my friends did the same thing. I'm just {censored}ing sick of Simon Cowell's monopoly of crap songs on the radio.Between his stupid pop acts and n-dubz and tinchy stryder, there is nothing good on the radio in UK. I really can't believe that there is actually not a single good national radio in this country. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see how going for an act like simon cowell's puppet will benefit current music. It's rehashed boring saccharine pop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members seifukusha Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 if the people demanded more art rock, you bet your bottom dollar it would reflect it in the charts, no? but remember, nickleback got the biggest draw, people just want the kind of music. rebel movements are good..

Members NetStar Posted December 20, 2009 Members Share Posted December 20, 2009 I wouldn't be surprised if someone from Sony came up with the idea. Next year I'm starting "Such Great Heights For Christmas Number One" in hope of an indie artist and label gets [51% of] some cash and maybe prompt a Postal Service reunion.At least there would be less hypocrisy in the song choice and it sounds a bit pretty.

The point of it isnt so much RATM beating out simon cowell/x-factor. It's about anything beating out simon cowell/x factor. Tom Morello: "There are a lot of people who don't feel represented by it (christmas chart) and this Christmas in the UK they're having their say." Apparently cowell and his generica have had the christmas spot the last 5 years or something like that. It's just some fun to {censored} with that smug bastard it seems. I'm sure a lot of people who arent RATM fans are buying/voting it, just cuz they dont dig x factor/idol/{censored} {censored}. If everyone picks one song to vote on then its more likely to beat simon cowell/x factor.. y'know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If everyone picks one song to vote on then its more likely to beat simon cowell/x factor.. y'know? i can see the idea behind it, but there are plenty of up and coming UK bands that could do with the sales and public support. but the fact that there's been a publicised anti-Cowell/X-Factor campaign will probably boost those sales too... there are plenty of X-Factor fans who probably wouldn't have bought the single if this campaign wasn't going on.
